About Dan Moore
Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience
I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.

Coin Collecting - 1904 Roosevelt coin


Expert: Dan Moore - 9/3/2009

Question
Hi, I appreciate you taking the time to answer our questions. It is great to have access to someone willing to share their knowlege. When I was digging on one of my vacant lot I found a dime. At first it appeared to be a regular dime but after a closer look I realized it has a minting date of 1904 D. The coin is a Roosevelt dime...I didnt think Roosevelt dimes were minted until the 1940's. Can you tell me anything about this coin? Is it a misprint? Thanks again!

Answer
Debra,

You need to have an expert look at that coin with a strong magnifier to determine its real date -- it's not possible to be a 1904.  My bet is corrosion from being buried has altered the surface of the coin, making it look like 1904.

Dan
